[Rhodes22-list] Old Motor Lift

[Richard F Sheehan]

Joe;

It is sold as a lumber replacement by West Marine and other chandlery
stores.  It comes in white, black & grey.  It is a plastic material which
is virtually indestructible  by UV radiation.  It is ungodly expensive. 
I bought the smallest sheet I could get  2' X 2.5 ' X  3/4" and if memory
serves me right it cost about $40.00.  It can be used by millionaires to
replace plywood in almost any marine application.  If my galley counter
top ever dissolves [it's made of pressed wood, just like yours], I'd
consider replacing it with starboard.  I used only a few square inches of
my sheet when I made the pad for the deck organizers.
